Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

Chapter 50 It's never easy to do good

Generally speaking, when someone says "I remember you," it means that there's nothing they can do but hold grudges.

It can be described as the standard bark of a defeated dog.

And with [Leader] leaving behind the bark of a defeated dog, he left the arena disheartened, and the surprise battle in [Dui 4399] finally came to a successful conclusion.

The Red Apricot team won a complete victory, not only recovered the lost property [Xuan Ming], but also searched for a wave of ill-gotten gains in the luxurious small building, which greatly enriched the results of the battle. More importantly, I slapped [Leader] in the face on the spot, which was very satisfying!

Of course, there are still some problems left - such as those civilians who were looted by [Qinglong] to [Military Base].

Regarding how to deal with these civilians, there are differences of opinion within the Red Xing Squad.

——

"It's understandable to want to save people, but there are too many of them." Captain Anping shook his head again and again, "There are a total of 27 survivors, and the current limit of the Red Apricot is only 6 people, just reluctantly put us down, and there is an extra seat nothing."

Xiao En raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "6 people? Captain, you count..."

Seeing An Ping pouted in Lu Nan's direction, Xiao En suddenly understood: Lu Nan is tall and strong, and he likes to be fully armed with firepower, one person is enough to match two people.

Anping also said: "In order to specialize in mobility, the Red Apricot has greatly reduced the available internal space, so we usually even search for loot selectively, otherwise the cargo hold will be full immediately. The 27 people will be crushed into pieces. It definitely won’t fit into the Red Apricot. Well, at most five or six slices, are you going to let them draw lots to choose the lucky one?”

Sean said: "It doesn't necessarily have to be installed in the Red Apricot."

Anping laughed: "Then you plan to issue 27 hanging tickets and hang them on both sides of the wing with ropes to bring them back?"

Sean said: "I plan to requisition the cargo spaceships in this military base. I have observed through the console in the basement. There are three cargo spaceships and more than 20 small shuttles parked in the hangar. They are all dignitaries who came here to gather. The cars of the nobles. And I have also verified with the survivors that 5 of them can drive cargo spaceships."

Anping's smile gradually disappeared, because he found that Xiao En's attitude was extremely serious.

"We're not here to save people."

Sean retorted: "I didn't come here to see death."

Anping stared at this stubborn newcomer seriously, and persuaded him: "Give up, those people are already dead."

Sean just found it ridiculous: "I've never seen a dead person who can run, jump, talk and laugh!"

Anping sighed: "I'm not Boss Li, I don't have that good eloquence, but you should know what I mean. You want to save people, this Holy Mother... this kindness is indeed precious, but your efforts are not only useless, but also It will drag other people down."

Xiao En argued disapprovingly: "It's just one more condition to Ning Tao, let him leave with a cargo ship carrying these innocent civilians, wouldn't he agree?"

Anping said: "Of course he will agree, but of course he will regret it afterwards. These survivors have witnessed the darkest side of the Qiankun Group. Do you think Ning Tao has the guts to let them go home alive? He will let them go home even at all costs." Shut up these people!"

Sean let out a long breath, of course he thought of this... But when someone mentioned it at this time, he still felt a little hard to calm down.

"Until the safety of civilians is ensured, we will not let Ning Tao leave..."

"It's useless!" Anping resolutely said, "Haven't you figured out our situation? We've always been on the wire! With our mere team of 5 people, how can we survive in a group of enemies?" Exchange 4399】Taking the initiative? It’s nothing more than us threatening Ning Tao’s life! In this case, the most taboo thing is to expose our weakness and let him threaten us in reverse! We can’t talk about any conditions! "

Xiao En nodded to show his understanding, but before he had time to speak, Anping added: "No matter how ingenious your scheme is, it is impossible to erase the resulting risks out of thin air. The more you want, the more you must Pay a higher price, and now you have no ability to pay at all! Without the help of your teammates, you can't even guarantee your own life, so how can you spare the energy to consider the lives of others?!"

At the end, Anping's voice was obviously stained with anger. But Sean is still trying to convince him.

"I know that I am just a newcomer to the team, and I am not qualified to act arbitrarily, let alone ask my teammates to accompany me to take risks and do good deeds. But after all, I am already a member of the team, so I should also enjoy the corresponding benefits-all the gains from this mission, I should have one, right?"

Anping froze for a moment, then realized Xiao En's intentions, and couldn't help gasping: "Are you really crazy!?"

Sean said: "The Red Apricot team pays attention to their own profits and losses, so I hope to use all the proceeds from this mission as a reward, and hire everyone to help me with this..."

"How many of us can't be hired by your salary?"

Sean said: "Let's go on credit. Even Captain Li Yu can boldly ask me to owe one million. I think the Red Apricot Squad will not be stingy."

Speaking of this, Anping is really speechless.

Sean is really determined to save people, he has almost lost his mind!

Uncle Xu couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and said, "Xiao En, is Virgin Mary's disease so unbearable to you?"

Xiao En thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Why don't you take banned drugs for three months?"

"Fuck, is it that serious!?"

For Sean, it was indeed serious. With 27 innocent lives in front of his eyes, if he had the opportunity to save them but stood by, it was almost equivalent to committing murder with his own hands!

Sean would never forgive himself for a moment of indifference.

Perhaps this kind of mentality is indeed what Uncle Xu called the Madonna, and the word Madonna is often a derogatory term...

But in this world, as long as it is not generous to others, then it is always better to have more Virgins, right?

Sean doesn't think there is anything wrong with his choice. Of course, he also respects the values ​​of the captain and others, so now he only hopes that the two sides can seek common ground while reserving differences and try to reach an agreement.

Anping was stared at by Xiao En with bright and energetic eyes, and felt powerless for a while.

"Well, since it concerns the entire team, let's vote, Uncle Xu, you come first."

Uncle Xu scolded: "Captain, you really know how to pick people, and you want me to come first if you pretend to be a bad guy? Okay, I object! I have a lot of loot on me now, and the dividends from the mission settlement are enough for me to take banned drugs for half a year. So I don’t want to take any more risks.”

Anping nodded with satisfaction: "Counting me, there are two negative votes, and Xiaozhuang is next."

As he spoke, he took out a small communicator and connected to the Hongxing number.

"Xiao Zhuang, you also heard the conversation just now, please give me some advice... Friendly reminder, the captain hopes you will vote against it."

Zhuang Yuanying was silent for a while at the other end, and did not immediately stand by Anping's side, but whispered softly: "If those people can be saved, I think..."

Anping interrupted: "Okay, I understand, you chose to side with the young and handsome rookie."

Uncle Xu gritted his teeth at the word young and handsome, and said, "Captain, can my negative vote just now be counted as two votes?"

"If you cut yourself in half, and let the lower body learn to speak, it will count as two votes for you." Anping fudged the ugly and jealous doctor, and turned his eyes to his greatest expectation.

Lu Nan.

Now there are two votes for and against, so the key to victory lies in Lu Nan.

And based on his understanding of Lu Nan, she would probably vote against it.

After all, it can be said that her closest relatives died because of the people around her standing by and watching. And Lu Nan is by no means noble enough to repay grievances with kindness. She almost instinctively rejects the so-called bravery.

Especially when the issue involves the so-called "innocent human life", Lu Nan's standards will become extremely strict.

And being looked at by Anping with extremely expectant eyes, Lu Nan snorted rather unhappily, and then asked Xiao En.

"Newcomers, do you know that even if those people survived by chance, they are already socially dead."

Sean nodded.

The reason is not difficult to guess, just now Anping has also warned that the people of Qiankun Group will not let these victims go home safely no matter what. Now Ning Tao is doing everything possible to silence him. If Ning Tao fails, it will be nothing more than replacing other officials to silence him. The essence of the matter will not change.

Even if these survivors do return home, they will find that their identities have been cancelled, and the proof of accidental death has been issued to their families by Qiankun Group long ago.

And the security fighters in the city who were supposed to protect the people would raise their guns at them without hesitation.

Seeing Xiao En nodding, Lu Nan asked again: "Then do you know that these people will not thank you for saving your life, some of them will complain why you can't save people more thoroughly, some will I suspect that you are in the same group as Qiankun Group and [Qinglong], and some people will simply hate everyone cynically."

Sean said: "But there will be people who thank me sincerely, right? What's more, I didn't save people for the sake of people thanking me. So what if there is no one who is grateful? Similarly, I don't think Only noble people are qualified to survive. Even if they are ungrateful, they are still innocent people who were robbed in my eyes, and they should not die here."

Lu Nan sneered and said, "It's really a classic answer from the Virgin Mary. I'll give you 100 points, which makes me sick to my stomach."

Sean shrugged. Although this result is disappointing, it is also reasonable.

Sean can't force everyone to accept his values, and he also understands that traumatized people may react to doing good.

If Lu Nan had to vote against it, there was nothing he could do. Sean would not blame her, just as he would not complain about Anping and Xu Bo's negative votes.

However, before Lu Nan actually votes, please allow him to make one last struggle.
